From the East,
February is already here and it promises to be a very eventful month. Our committees are in place and should start working together soon. If you have any idea's that will help to make this year a success, let us hear them. This is going to be the year that we MAKE IT HAPPEN!.

Also, our baseball spring training schedule is out and we need volunteers to work the games. Brothers, this is our biggest fund raiser of the year and we need as much participation as we can get. So lets all step forward, rise to the occasion and MAKE IT HAPPEN! Get a copy of the schedule, fill in the days you can volunteer and get back to RW Jim Rachel as soon as possible..
Another upcoming event is our golf tournament. We need to start lining up hole sponsors and prizes. As you can see, it's going to be a busy year! I'm a firm believer that it will be one of the best years Haines City No. 219 has ever had..
Fraternally yours,

Your name will be listed for 12 months for a donation of $10.00, which helps to defray the cost of printing and mailing the Trestleboard. The number after your name is the month and year that your 12 months expire. If your name is not on the list please consider contributing!
I ask that all Brothers support this endeavor, no matter whether you're receiving the Trestleboard by email or not. Postage is a LARGE factor in publishing our Trestleboard. Anything we can do to help defray our Lodge's expenditures will be greatly appreciated.
